Indonesia Golf Club

Golf Course in Indonesia

The golf course at Pondok Indah has a unique design, which echoes back to the home of the game, St. Andrews in Scotland and the Old Course. The course follows a relatively narrow belt of land surrounding a low hill, most holes running parallel but in opposing directions to holes on the other half. The circuit returns to the club after nine holes then sets out again to follow a reverse circuit within the earlier one. The design is not only unusual but through clever use of the meandering tributaries of the Grogol River, plus astute strategic bunkering, rewards accuracy while punishing the wayward player. A fine course, which builds up to a superb finish. But let's not take our word for it. Here's some of the many compliments from world class player.

"....a world class golf course . "

David Graham.

" I was very impressed with the overall quality of the design and the variety of the design "

Ben Crenshaw.

"I think the World Cup players will enjoy it and they'll never forget the beautiful setting"

Jonny Miller.

" I did not expect a Trent Jones golf Course and conditioned very nicely in this part of the world "

The 18-hole championship course designed by Peter Thomson, Michael Wolveridge and Perrett offers a unique, challenging and world-class experience for golfers of all levels. It's a picturesque course in the North Western region of Lombok. It's a par 72 course measuring 6295 metres. Holes 1 - 9 face the sea and include the signature No 4 hole adjacent to the white sandy beach of Sire Bay. Holes 10 - 18 face the mountains with stunning views of Mt Rijana and towards the Gili Islands across the bay. Stay'n Play packages can also be arranged.

The Grand Bali Beach is now under new ownership and has changed it's name to The Bali Beach Golf Course. The layout is still a 9-hole course (par 36), however all greens and bunkers have been replaced. The Bali Beach Golf Course is in the grounds of The Grand Bali Beach Hotel in Sanur and is still a flat course, with tight tree lined fairways. The new enlarged greens are well protected, making accuracy essential. The course is an improvement on the old course, but not in the same class as Bali's 18 hole courses. It is still a test of golf. Caddies are available, however, there are no golf carts and trolleys are compulsory.

Designed by Peter Thomson and Michael Wolveridge and Associates, Bali Handara is probably the island's most well known golf course.

World leading golf professional and celebrity, Greg Norman, has designed a very beautiful breathtaking and playable 18-hole par 72 course amidst rolling hills, pristine lakes and lush tropical greenery. It is specially created as the centrepiece of the splendid Tering Bay Golf and Country Club on a site of over 130 hectares overlooking a picturesque bay in north Batam. Special attention was paid to ensure the Tering Bay golf course is a fair and enjoyable test for golfers of all levels as well as stern test for the professionals.

"Tering Bay Golf and Country Club enjoys a spectacular site on the Batam Island. The rich environment provides a magnificent setting for the creation of a landmark golf course. I believe in preserving what nature has created. It is my great challenge to retain, and work with, the majesty of the natural terrain, introducing exciting holes amid these diverse and beautiful landscape environments. Expect both visual and sporting excitement. Playing the Tering Bay Golf and Country Club will be a breathtaking experience for golfers of all abilities. I have designed some heroic, "go for it" shots across many of the water hazards. But in most places, I have also tried to ensure players may choose an easier approach to the green. I am involved in golf course projects throughout the world. But the Tering Bay Golf and Country Club represents a very special challenge. I am honoured and excited to participate in the creation of a truly outstanding golfing facility for both Indonesia and Singapore". Greg Norman
